Im having a slight dispute with my new neighbour over parking and my drive way. We have just moved into our new house and my nieghbours had a verbal agreement with previous owner that they could park on our driveway, we own driveway out right but our neighbours insists its 50/50 access and keep parking on it blocking me in or stopping me getting on. as they and the previous owners decided between them to knock down our double gate for driveway and the(our) neighbours single gate/pathway to make a larger access to our drive which they shared. when we bought the house we had this shared drive looked into and found it was ours out right.
Spoke to them about this and they agreed to stop parking there and would build a hard standing in their own garden to park on, the problem is they still only have less than 4ft access point the width of their old single gate the rest of the access would be across my driveway
my concern is if i leave this long enough and my neighbours finishes putting hard standing in and uses it to park on does this entitle him to right of way across my land and prevent me from rebuilding my gateposts etc? Or am i perfectly within my rights to rebuild the fence and my posts etc blocking them getting a car onto this hard standing they're doing themselves (badly) I don't want to do this out of spite but eventually i would like to blockpave or print my drive etc
Any advice would be great?
